Last Sunday, I went to our highschool reunion where I bonded with my friends I haven't seen in a while. I was hesitant to go first since I didn't know the way to Greenwoods (I don't want to get lost with all those maple, coconut, palmetto streets! lol).

Class picture eh?

with ze mean girls ♥ watch your back!

I missed them especially the girls! Hopefully the planned gig next year will push through! Ayt, Joey, Trixia, Therese and Mayanne?? hehe

Two days ago, the boyfriend and I went to Megamall to buy gifts for his godchildren. But before that since we left around noon, we ate our lunch at Mang Inasal.

Hmm, Yummy!

I think the last time we ate there was a month ago. It's affordable and of course they have the unlimited rice which is really convenient for the two of us. hihi

I really had a great time! We just see each other once or twice a week so I missed him. Well this would be the first time I'd post our photo together, and here it is!

Me and the cute Bf!

We had more good photos he took. However, he's not a good photographer so the other photos were blurred. hmf!

So after we bought the gifts, we tried to shop for ourselves but we couldn't really figure out what to buy. We have to be mindful of our tight budget! He was looking for a gas lift chair for his computer table but his budget was not enough. So we thought of just buying a net seat cushion that usually used in car seats for back support.

Just like that one!

We had one here that my father brought home and he was kinda amazed when he saw that. Fortunately, it was available in the hardware store and I'm glad he's happy with it. He even saved more money! For myself, I didn't buy anything not unless you want to include the step on trash can I bought for our cluttered house. Perhaps I just felt blessed that time I couldn't decide what to buy. lol

Well, yes I feel blessed because I will end and start the year with him and my family! And I'm grateful that the dear Lord blessed me this year.

I recently watched Glee and found this song amazing. This is dedicated to all the people I love! :)

Whenever I'm sad and lonely, I feel like eating anything. Well there are choices of course, and most probably you will see me eating chocolates, ice cream, chips, and all the good stuff. You'll know then that I'm not in the mood.

When I was little, my mom said I was a picky eater. I think til now I am. I like

Spaghetti with Meatballs

Sinigang na Hipon

Fried Chicken

Chicken Inasal

Isaw

Siomai

Squid balls

Chicharon

Dried Pusit

And the list will never end!

Okay, now I know you're hungry while looking at those photos. That said, my comfort foods are not actually included on the photos above. I'd rather indulge myself to these:

KitKat and Pik-nik ♥

Pringles. My fave is the original.

Twister/curly Fries

Cookies and Cream flavored Ice cream!

I know someone who also likes the last photo. Alright, so much for this insanity. I know that we have lots of these foods this coming season. I'm hungry now! Happy Eating! : )

Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan’s life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school…or at home.

When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she’s known is about to change.

But she could never have guessed the truth—that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she’ll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face…and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart.

My Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Wow! I really enjoyed this book!

I think this was the first time I read a book about faeries and I wasn’t disappointed. I was thinking when the first time I heard about this book that there might be beautiful little creatures, you know the typical fairy like Tinkerbell. The author made this new concept of faeries that is really an enjoyable read! Though she borrowed some characters from Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, it still kept me from reading til the last page.

I also loved the characters. I liked Grimalkin, this cat or cait sith that made a deal with Megan when she was in danger. It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. Puck’s character was also fun. I liked his humor. Megan was a tough one, though sometimes she lacked the courage, she still managed to fulfill her mission. And of course, Ash, the handsome Winter Prince that looked mysterious but brave and sweet!

Although most parts of the story were predictable, the author still managed to build a new concept and described the other creatures in details that made the book much more enjoyable. Some of the characters were not well developed especially Megan and Ash but I guess I have to keep reading the series to know more about them!

Tomorrow is the start of our christmas vacation. The past week has been so stressful because of our prelim exams. I'm glad it was over because it didn't only give me stress but also a number of pimples on my face. grrr

I'm planning to read the books I bought last month from the NBS Bazaar. I think there were more or less ten books! Wow. I haven't noticed that I already bought a lot. I promised to not buy any more books until the end of the month. I don't want to be broke before the year ends.

I asked Ate Cecille to take a picture of my cute little notebook or binder.

Maybe I'll miss my cute notebook this vacation. hihi.

I like cute things. They make me happy and they look neat! Okay, now I miss my cute honey! ;)

A beautiful retelling of the Celtic “Swans” myth, Daughter of the Forest is a mixture of history and fantasy, myth and magic, legend and love… To reclaim the lives of her brothers, Sorcha leaves the only safe place she has ever known and embarks on a journey filled with pain, loss and terror. When she is kidnapped by enemy forces and taken to a foreign land, it seems that there will be no way for Sorcha to break the spell that condemns all that she loves. But magic knows no boundaries, and Sorcha will have to choose between the live she has always known and a love that comes only once.

My Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

From start to finish, I got hooked!

Daughter of the forest is one of those books that you just want to believe in. That you want to be real. It’s full of tales, adventure and romance.

I have a soft spot in historical fantasy and romance. So eventhough it took me forever to finish this book (approximately 1 month and 4 days), I still love how I was able to read everything page by page! I didn’t skipped any page because nothing bored me. The author made sure you will keep reading until the last page. I liked her writing style as well!

The story mainly revolved around the seven children of the seventh son of the ruler of Sevenwaters. How interesting right! Sorcha, our brave heroine had to finish a task so that she could save her brothers from the Lady Oonagh’s curse. In her flight for safety she met Red, the Lord Hugh of Harrowfield which was their strongest enemy. From there, Sorcha bravely confronted every hardships and insults vested upon her.

Just a caution, this is not an easy read. Sorcha has to go through a lot before saving her brothers. I heard this was like a retelling of the fairy tale ‘The Six Swans’ but I’m not really familiar with it. Though it was a retelling, It’s still a great book!

I don’t want to spoil, so better read the book. I highly recommend it! It’s rich in fantasy and very enchanting! :)

When I'm watching TV, I always want to hold the remote and I want to be the one to change the channels. Sometimes my brothers would argue with me about it and it will start a fight among us. Well, I'm the eldest so they can't do anything about it unless my dad will intervene. Hmf!

The other day, I tried turning the tv on but got disappointed because the remote won't work. Or maybe it was the battery. I tried the battery of the other remote for the dvd and it worked! So, time to change batteries!

Well, the dvd and the tv's remote have Eveready batteries on them so I guess it's life span is longer. We always use Eveready when changing batteries, can it be the wall clock, our flashlight and other equipments at home. It's very affordable and reliable. The batteries last longer!

Ate Cecille and I passed by Market Market yesterday and I saw on the Vente stall that the Rubik's cube is available again! The geek side of me, of course wanted to buy it and so I did.

It's been months since the last time I tried to solve one. I already forgot how to solve the third layer. It was back in my engineering days when I learned how to solve it. My classmates were all crazy about it and everyone has their own cube. We even had a game where you have to solve it in lesser time than the others.

I'm just glad I'll be able to play one again. I consider solving it as one of my talent since not everyone can do it! :)

Before anything else, I would like to know if the word monthsary has an etymological definition in a dictionary. Coz as far as I know it was just created by us Pinoys. heh.

Anyways, so yesterday was our 55th month in the relationship. We don't really celebrate it, I just like to mention it. hehe. It's just amazing that we've been together that long. Hopefully, I can still celebrate many anniversaries with him until our hair turns white. ;)

First, we went to KFC to try the Double Down which looked really good on ads.

In this photo as well

So, how was it? Over a hundred, I wll grade it 75. Just passing right? I told this to boyfriend because I wasn't able to finish it all. It was good at first, but then when I was halfway to it, I didn't like it anymore. I didn't like the combination of the mayo and cheese because I can't taste the bacon which I really like. Maybe it's just my taste.

Then after, the most awaited moment...

We watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

Our tickets which I like collecting! : )

I really like the movie. I heard a lot of reviews that it's better compared to the previous movies because most of the scenes in the book were shown on the big screen. I agree and at the same time glad that finally I was able to watch it. I like the Dobby scenes. I almost cried on the part when Dobby was dying on Harry's arms. Ron was amazing or should I say Rupert Grint did a great job on portraying Ron. I also like the scene when Ron returned and Hermione was all angry and shouting at Ron. Emma Watson is really a lady now! Of course, Daniel Radcliffe was still awesome in portraying Harry. The boyfriend is not really a fan like me, however I was there to tell him what's gonna happen next and explain everything! ;)

I really enjoyed our time yesterday. Even though we don't see each other a lot, we still find time to bond and spend quality time. I think that is more important than seeing your special someone everyday and not cherishing every moment of it.

Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she’s completely popular. It’s everything she’s ever wanted.

But beneath all the fun — the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom — is a nagging sense that something’s wrong. Something important. Then a message from Tally’s ugly past arrives. Reading it, Tally remembers what’s wrong with pretty life, and the fun stops cold.

Now she has to choose between fighting to forget what she knows and fighting for her life — because the authorities don’t intend to let anyone with this information survive.

My Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥

Bogus and Bubbly.

Those are the words I would like to describe this book. Not only because those two words were always mentioned in the book but also it would best describe the flow of the story.

Of course Tally became one of the pretties. Pretty minded is bogus. You have to be bubbly to remember the real you. That’s how the story went. I didn’t like it as much as the first book. It’s a bit of adventure but it didn’t capture me. The writing was a little off because of those two words always mentioned.

What I like about it was Zane’s character. Maybe because the way he was described by the author, but I guess his character helped a lot to the story. In the end you will know why. I was surprised of what’s gonna happen to Tally. I like the last part and the cliffhanger ending.

So, the first part was bogus and the latter was bubbly. I would keep on reading the series to know what will happen next!

Yesterday after our Mandarin class (which I'm happy to tell that I passed the much awaited oral exam!), Ate Cecille and I decided to just hang out and take some photos at the Boni High Street.

Photo at the school's washroom first! : )

We ate first then we dropped by or should I say I asked her if we could drop by at the NBS sale again. As usual, I bought books that's not really included on my plan that day. lol!

I was happy not only because of the books but because we were able to bond and just be happy that day. With all the stress at school, we need a day to just relax and have some fun.

Okay, I'm a fountain model now. hihi

Still my face

Happy Friends!

I'm glad that I met her first instead of the other people at school. It's not that I don't want to be friends with other people there (insert something here), I'm just happy that I met someone I can be friends with and at the same time share the same humor with. Sometimes, you have to make sure that you are with the right company. Your friends can also influence you. That's why I want to be friends with people who are sensible and fun to be with. Life is short to just spend it with people that can just influence you in a wrong way.
